I had the same problem yesterday which took some hours to figure out,
whats going wrong. I have opened a PR for this problem (25478), there is
also a backtrace in.
But now I'm reading my freebsd-net archive..I think in the future I'll have
to take a look here before :-)

Yes, http://www.euitt.upm.es/~pjlobo/fbsdvlan.html. This patch only helps
you to receive long frames. But the panic described above happens
independent of this patch.
There is a workaround for this problem, but it can take hours to find
out what happens or even to find out that you have to "ifconfig up" the
parent interface before.

Andy
